Today, version 2.8.3 is available on the Store and it now controls some GDR2 features that weren’t previously available in earlier builds. It’s also touted as being faster than Nokia Pro Cam, though at least for Lumia 1020 owners, you won’t get those 38MP photos. So what’s new?

ProShot version 2.8.3 (8/22/2013)

Image processing pipeline overhaul: shot-to-shot time now a full second faster! Faster than Nokia Pro Cam*

Increased ISO range up to 4000 on compatible devices*

Added Macro / Infinity AF modes**

Added 3 second option to timelapse*

Added double-tap shortcut: double tap menu items to select them and close the panel

UI tweaks, improvements, and many bug fixes

* Requires GDR2 OS update (build 10320 and higher)

** Only compatible with Nokia devices with GDR2

While some may prefer the UI of Nokia’s Pro Cam, it’s all about what you are comfortable with when shooting. ProShot does offer 5FPS “burst mode”, macro settings and the ability to save pre-sets, all of which give it a slight edge over Pro Cam, especially for the 92x Lumias. Unfortunately it can’t be made a default camera app, though we hope to see something like that in the future, if possible.

Certainly ProShot continues to deserve attention from avid photographers and it is worth your time to evaluate its efficacy. Those with Windows Phone 8 devices can grab it here in the Store. $1.99 with a free trial.

You're saying Nokia Pro Cam lets you know if your shot was level *after* you take the picture? ProShot has a level on-screen *before* you take the picture. Because of this, I no longer take off-camber (slanted) pictures.

I can't remember anyone talking about this, but it's so important to me, I wouldn't even consider a camera app that doesn't do this. Maybe not many people care.

Thanks again.
Running through the proxy is a little iffy, I kinda expect that some hacker has all the information he could pull from my phone...
But I have Pro Cam along with the App Folder from Samsung, I would have gotten some HTC apps but there aren't many and I didn't want the ones they did have.
My phone is so different after getting GDR2/Amber, Pro Cam and App folder. I love it.

This app is fantastic... it would be great if this could launch with the camera button.
Will manual temperature adjustment ever happen on the Lumia series? This one absent feature (in every app) just kills the Lumia as a serious shooter.

Ideally, every device would have the same features, but it's up to the hardware and the hardware manufacturers. Nokia's hardware supports Macro / Infinity AF modes, while HTC's doesn't. Conversely, HTC's hardware supports manual WB temperature control, and Nokia's doesn't. So HTC does have an exclusive feature :)

I probably missread the question :) Actually WB works quite well on my HTC. Btw when I switch to the new ISO levels the screen flashes for a moment then turns back to normal, when I shoot the picture is with the correct ISO though. Also I found that certain combinations of ISO and shutter does not change on 8X i think the phone overrides the settings if they are too off.

And I would love to have "delete" option because many times I experiment with the settings and make too much bad pictures.

The slight flash is the hardware changing to the ISO setting (happens on HTC, not Nokia). Also, there is an odd bug in HTCs hardware....if you manually set the ISO and shutter speed, the selected shutter speed might not be used :/

I played for a while with custom ISO and Shutter speed and sometimes it works, sometimes does not. Tried to make a reproducable case but I could not. I think it is not working if both options are set to something that is not supported by the hardware (as a combo). Btw in some extreme settings (like ISO 3200/ Shutter speed: 1/16000) the phone tries to make a picture witch is displayed for a while (some extremly noisy image appears), slides as it goes for saving, but it actually does not save. Sometimes after that, the gallery mode stops working and the left arrow dissappears too.
Also when you turn the phone upside down the arrow goes to the right of the screen and becomes unclickable.

The hardware supports all of the settings that are available to be selected, it just won't honor the selected shutter speed if the ISO is also set to something other than AUTO (note again, this only applies to HTC phones). Their firmware still has quite a few bugs that need to be addressed.

The left arrow disappears while images are being processed / saved in the background.

The left arrow bug when the phone is upside down will be fixed in the minor update I just submitted.

Unfortunately even with Amber/GRD2 burst is still a bust with Lumia 810 even tho' "we fixed the burst issue'' You touch the shutter and the maximum of 15 shots is also the minimum and after 10 min of saving photos ( you can't use the camera during that time) I just closed it out. BTW I do have the paid v 2.8.3 copy

I just got my Lumia 720 updated with amber....nd I used pro shot after that....smthing really surprising is that the maximum possible ISO is limited to 800....bt in auto mode...under very dim conditions.....the app selects ISO's upsto 3200!!!....it means higher ISO's are supported the device rite????
